As soon as Fan Xing finished speaking, everyone turned to look at her. What did they hear? Was Wen Rong mocking them? Was that it?
Although Wen Tian was old, he had good hearing after years of practicing martial arts. He suddenly raised his head, and his gaze was like a knife stabbing straight at Wen Rong. Why, was there something wrong with this granddaughter’s brain today? How could she say such words?
“Do you know what you’re saying?” Wen Tian’s voice was cold and inexplicable. Everyone who knew him knew how angry he was at this moment. Wen Jiu was a taboo in the Wen family and no one was allowed to mention her, not to mention, she even spoke up for Wen Jiu. Could this girl be a demon?
Fan Xing was not afraid of Wen Tian. This grandfather appeared to be very kind on the surface, but once it concerned the interests of the Wen family, he would rise and fall ruthlessly. One could definitely see the decisiveness of an old general who mingled on the battlefield.
Back then, even his biological granddaughter could be directly abandoned. It could be seen that this Wen Tian was definitely not as kind and amiable as he appeared on the surface. He had a kind face, but the things he did could definitely make people’s scalps go numb from fear.
“I know, I’m talking about karma.”
“Impudent!”
Pa!
Wen Tian let out a series of angry roars. Immediately after, a teacup was violently thrown before Fan Xing’s feet. His anger was indeed very great.
However, Fan Xing was neither anxious nor angry. She realized that it was actually quite fun to make the enemy so angry that they would throw up. It was indeed much more enjoyable than killing them directly.
“Your aim isn’t good enough. See? You should smash it here. However, Grandpa, you’re probably old. You’re not as young as a young man. You’re not good enough, Grandpa. You’re already so old. You should naturally know that you have to admit when you’ve done something wrong. That’s what you taught me back then. Why? Have you really forgotten everything because you’re old?”
“You — You — You –”
“How dare you! Kneel down for me!”
“Why should I kneel? But what did I say wrong? Or did I do something wrong? I wasn’t the one who set the fire. Besides, didn’t you notice that apart from my courtyard, your courtyard is also on fire? That means that Big Sister’s heart is clear. She knows who’s a good person and who’s a bad person.”
“She is a monster. She is possessed by a demon. She is actually a good person? I think you are also possessed by a demon, right?”
“Mother, why do you have to say that? Actually, you all know what Big Sister is like in your hearts. Big Sister only accidentally ate the medicinal pill offered by the ancestral hall. You all insist on saying that she is possessed by a demon. Mother, you hate Big Sister. You don’t have to use this method to get rid of her, right?”
“Impudent!”
“Alright, change your words. The whole family can only say this one word. Not letting me tell the truth doesn’t mean that the truth doesn’t exist, understand?”
Wen Tian naturally knew what Wen Rong meant. Back when the two armies were fighting, he was extremely busy. When he received the letter from home, it said that his eldest granddaughter had been possessed by a demon and was in Yin Tai Tower by the Emperor, he did not believe it at first. But since the Yin Tai Tower had been mobilized and the Emperor had personally issued the decree, how could he still doubt it? Of course, this was also to protect the Wen family. Fortunately, he was out on a war and the Emperor did not blame his family. Otherwise, Wen Jiu would not only have harmed himself, but also his entire family.
That was why he was so ruthless back then. But when he returned home, when he was in the ancestral hall offering sacrifices to his ancestors, he discovered that the medicinal pill that the Wen family had been offering for a hundred years had actually disappeared. After a round of investigation, he found out… It turned out that all the strange phenomena that had happened to his granddaughter had been because she had accidentally eaten the medicinal pill. How could she have been possessed by a demon?
It was just that the medicinal pill had indeed come from the Demon World. However, when this matter had spread to him, it was already not perfect. He only knew a tiny bit that ordinary people could not casually consume it.
It made sense that his granddaughter would have other changes after eating that thing. The most important thing was that the matter of her execution had been personally ordered by the Emperor. Therefore, even though he knew that Wen Jiu had died unjustly… He could only let this matter go.
And because of this, Wen Jiu was a taboo in the Wen family.
Now that this Third Granddaughter had spoken so directly, no one could bear it.
“Third Sister, have you not recovered from your illness? Are you confused? How can you say these things so casually?”
The one who spoke was Wen Zhongguo’s eldest son, Wen Yi, who was also the eldest son left behind by the late Madam Wen. He was now in the military. With his grandfather and father protecting him, one could imagine his future.
He already had a wife. His wife was an extremely honest and simple person who never spoke much. She was also considered to have a deep relationship with Wen Yi and had a son. He was three years old and had already fallen asleep in Wen Lu’s arms.
“Big Brother, my illness has long been cured. I don’t need to trouble you to worry.”
“Third Sister, I don’t think your illness has been cured. Prince Yi Zhao even said that the wedding would be held in three days. With your appearance, can you get married?”
Wen Fu’s words carried an obvious warning. If you dared to spout nonsense, not to mention getting married in three days, even if you wanted to get married in the future, the Wen family also had a lot of ways to prevent you from getting married. Were you stupid or not, to actually offend Grandfather at this time… offending the entire family.
“I won’t trouble Second Sister to worry about whether I get married or not. But you, put your thoughts away. Mother has already said, don’t think about things that you shouldn’t think about. You’re the Third Prince’s fiancée, so you can only be the Third Prince’s. If you want to be both sister and sister-in-law, that won’t do.”
“What did you say? Wen Rong, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you possessed?”
Wen Fu’s face flushed red. If it weren’t for the fact that there were no maids and old ladies here, she wouldn’t have needed to get married if her words were known by others today.
“Wen Rong, that’s your sister. How can you be so impudent? I think Fu’er is right. You’re indeed possessed. Tomorrow, I’ll get the mages of Linyin Temple to personally come and exorcise you. Someone, send the Third Miss back to her room.”
“How boring. Since you can’t win against me, you want me to go back to my room. Sigh, you guys wait. Big Sister has not had enough fun yet. It’s not like no one knows how you harmed her back then.”
“Get her out of here.”
When Wen Qin was angry, she yelled at the two old ladies. However, Fan Xing was not afraid. She immediately said to Wen Qin:
“Mother, I have only spoken to your heart. Could it be that you do not have any resentment towards Big Sister? Haven’t you always hated her for causing the death of your two brothers? If you let me go down now, will you lock my courtyard door tomorrow? Then, you will announce to the public that I am sick, that the wedding will be delayed, or even that it will be canceled? Oh my, this is an imperial decree from the Emperor. Mother, can you refuse?”
“Oh right, I forgot to mention it. His Imperial Highness the Prince said that he would invite me to admire the plum blossoms tomorrow. You guys can’t hold me back. Hahaha, it’s already so late. I have to go back and sleep. Thank you so much, Big Sister. Fortunately, my courtyard is safe and sound. Goodbye, everyone.”
Fan Xing came leisurely and left after angering everyone. Everyone was stunned by what they saw.
“Is this Third Girl crazy? In the past, I only knew that she didn’t speak much. I didn’t expect her mind to be like this. It seems that she and our Wen family are no longer on the same page.”
When Wen Tian said this, there was a trace of viciousness in his eyes. Everyone was shocked by what they saw. Wen Zhongguo asked in horror,”Father, what are you doing?”
“Letting a Wen family daughter who is not on the same side as us enter the Eastern Palace, do you think our Wen family will be able to stand firm in the Jin Kingdom in the future?”
